Tamashii Nations recently held their “Gundam Figures Live” livestream where they unveiled upcoming figures to their products lines. The livestream was attended by Mobile Suit Gundam 00 director Seiji Mizushima and Kira Yamato actor(from SEED) Soichiro Hoshi.
During the event, director Mizushima announced a new Mobile Suit Gundam 00 CG anime project in collaboration with Tamashii Nations’s “Metal Build” figure line.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Revealed Chronicle will feature previously unrevealed anecdotes about how design data from the product development phase was used in the anime series. While not a full anime project, Mizushima says Revealed Chronicle will fill in gaps in-between 00’s first and second seasons. The project will unveil the secrets of the Double Drive, the missing link to the GN Drive, and feature new mobile suits for Setsuna F.Seiei, Lockon Stratos and other characters.
Story
Setsuna F. Seiei successfully solved the situation in Azadistan. However, for Celestial Being that was only a temporary intervention. Meanwhile, the world worked in secret on a plan of retaliation. Celestial Being through their Double Drive research further strengthened Gundam Technology.

Broadcasting from October 2007 to March 2009, the Seiji Mizushima-directed Mobile Suit Gundam 00 series is set in 2307 AD. Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, humanity relies on solar energy collected by three orbital elevators, controlled by one of the three “power blocs”, the Union (Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations), controlling the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan; the Human Reform League controlling nearly all of mainland Asia along with most of Oceania; and the AEU (Advanced European Union), which controls mainland Europe as well as many islands in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. With this nearly inexhaustible source of energy benefiting only the major powers and their allies, constant warfare erupts around the globe among minor countries for fuel and energy.
The series follows the exploits of the organization Celestial Being in their crusade to end all acts of war through armed interventions using state-of-the-art Gundam type mobile suits.
The popular 00 series received a theatrical film in 2010, titled Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer set two years after the end of the series in 2314 AD.
A stage play adaptation of the anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam 00- Awakening By Destruction-, debuted in February 2019, with Fumiya Matsuzaki as director and playwright, and 00’s anime director Seiji Mizushima supervising the production. A sequel to the play was performed in February 2022, titled Awakening By Destruction- Re:(in)novation.
